»Disciples on Campus

Disciples on Campus has been the Christian Church and United Church of
Christ student ministry at Chapman
University since 1987. This group is nurtured by the staff of Church Relations
and has student leadership that plans its activities, worship, and trips.

DOC, as it is known on campus, creates community in the
following ways:

Weekly worship on Wednesday nights, planned and
led by students and open to other progressive Christian students on campus

Special events at the beginning of semesters and
at the close of the year, welcoming new students and blessings those completing
their Chapman years

Service projects that care for people, the
environment, support Chapman University, and make connections between students
and our donors

Trips to regional and conference meetings, as
well as General Assembly and General Synod, to help recruit high school
students and experience the church in its larger context

Education/mission opportunities that not only
count toward a diploma, but offer a global
experience that enhances their classroom education and sense of
connection to the church

Pastoral and spiritual support from their fellow
students as well as the staff of Church Relations

Retreats each semester not only deepen students’
understanding of a particular topic, but builds community and lets students
have fun together

Annually a small group of DOC students make up the DOC
Leadership Board or DLB. DLB gives shape and focus to all of the DOC activities
and promotes group cohesiveness and spirit. Through this experience, DLB participants
grow in their leadership experience that will help them succeed in their chosen
careers and in their service to the church after graduation.
